About the Bible Minor

The Bible Minor at Cedarville

Part of what makes the Cedarville experience so unique is the emphasis on education through a biblical lens. Like all Cedarville students, you'll complete a Bible minor as part of your general education coursework. The five courses that make up the Bible minor — The Bible and the Gospel, Old Testament Literature, New Testament Literature, Theology l, and Theology ll — will challenge you to think about God, His Word, and His world in new ways as you learn to apply Scripture to all aspects of your life.

Cedarville is pleased to make this outstanding Bible teaching available to everyone through our online Bible Minor Project. Every lecture from all five courses is recorded and available for free for personal enrichment, group Bible studies, and the benefit of the church.
